Golden Age of Gear - Lovebomb pedal

Killer Overdrive That’s Huge and Sounds Even Bigger! The Love Bomb | Ep. 15 - Golden Age of Gear

This week on Golden Age of Gear, Joey and Derek take a look at one of the most powerful and unique overdrive pedals ever built—a massive, tube-driven unit designed with studio-quality precision. Built by Gareth from Stand Alone Productions and Simon Saywood from Analouegtube, this pedal isn’t just for guitarists; it’s a full-fledged studio tool with incredible versatility. From rich harmonic overdrive to fuzz-like saturation, this beast delivers it all. With high-pass and low-pass filters, bias and power sag controls, and an insane amount of output, it can shape tone in ways most pedals simply can’t. Whether used on guitar, bass, drums, or even vocals, it’s got a magic touch that makes it a true secret weapon. But is it worth the hype—and the hefty price tag? We put it through its paces, Joey shares his experience using it on the road and in the studio, and we discuss how it stacks up against pro audio gear.
